    Are they really >£4 each?

    I suppose I *should* use new ones, but I don't really fancy shelling
    out £50 for a dozen bolts.

    I got a set of 12 for £12.95 + £2 p&p off ebay.
    You may well have similar luck trying there.

    Try one of the specialists - www.namrick.co.uk - they may be able to
    supply a non-OE alternative for less.

  4. Namrick is a splendid place. I bought a load of stainless stuff from
    them, and it wasn't (wildly) expensive and was delivered fast.

    This is my favourite answer so far. Ta.

    That said, an "extra" set would be nice, what with two front wheels,
    and four discs.

    New discs; new wheels. I thought it would be easier to have two sets
    of discs bolted to different two wheels on a permanent basis.
    Good, cos I didn't bother with the rear disc.

    You know the Chinese take away? About another 100 yards.

    Guzzi flywheel bolts.

    I've not changed the Guzzi's disc bolts the last few times I've had them
    out.

    That's annoying. Still, maybe they'll be able to rustle up a bit of
    sweet and sour chicken and special fried rice.
